Gay Sex, Raw Milk, and a Free Society

by Laurence M. VanceAlthough gay sex and raw milk have nothing to do with each other, they have everything to do with individual liberty, private property, and a free society.

The governor or Montana recently signed into law a bill to strike unconstitutional language from a law on the books that criminalized sexual acts between two people of the same sex. However, he won't have a chance to sign into law a bill to allow the sale of raw milk in Montana because it failed to pass the legislature before it adjourned on April 24.

But Montana still has an age of consent law on the books. So sexual activity with someone who has not reached some government-approved magic number remains illegal and liberty and a "free society" remain mere illusions.

I'm having trouble processing the term: "unconstitutional language." Oh, jeez, reading the full article just leaves me with more questions. The "RAW" milk, I comprehend, though the word: "animal," is tripping me up. (I suppose I should be sober when posting on this site - that might help).
